New Requirements
The not so glamorous life of teaching will become less glamorous. Students will no longer be the only one writing essays this year, but aspiring teachers as well. Coming soon all wishful teachers will be required to write an essay. The new requirements has caused an uproar between ambitious teachers and The Board of Education. But, will the new found policy, improve the IQ of New York City students?
Starting this month striving teachers will have to submit two written essays and a resume. One essay would focus on how teachers handle a "hypothetical education system," while the second one will focus on their personal and professional strengths. This new registration policy calls for more work. It takes a Master's Degree and three years of experience to become a fully licensed teacher in New York. Along with essays apiring teachers are become discouraged. While some teachers think this new requirement others have been dispirited on their dreams on becoming a teacher.
Some believe it is benneficial for the teacher as well as the student to have more qualified teachers.
"I believe that it is necessary for teachers to write an essay so as to verify that the new teacher has the necessary linguistie skills and knowledge of their subject matter in order to enter the profession." states Ms. Cox from Jamaica High School
Most students are happy that teachers have to write an essay. One student felt strongly about the new requirements for teachers.
" I agree with the new requirements I feel that it is good because it tests teachers ability to perform insuring that students are getting the best education and not just someone who passed a test to get a certificate but someone who understands the work they teach." said Seban Questelles
Some students even think the teachers deserve to write essays because of the gruelling hours they spent writing essays.
"I think its good because it makes teachers do they same work we do. There are some teachers who are teaching and probably cant even write a good essay or two..but they still teach anyway. Now they get a chance to practice what they preech" says senior Korrin Williams
The new controversial requirements have caused a debate between aspiring teachers and The Board of Education. Ambitious teachers now have to feel the pressure of the challenging deadlines they must face. Overall students love the new requirements and believe it will be beneficial.

Interesting topic. Quite informative. Spelling errors and some missing words...typing too fast? Conclusion could be stronger...for instance a real good quote
I agree with the new policy,but yet again I think its like doubting a teacher's ability to do their work.A spelling error,and a job well done informing of current situations.
Beacome="become" change that !
Students will no longer be in the only ones* .
This is a funny article because it involves the teachers writing essays to be examed as opposed to the students when we usually have to do the most work. We as students can relate to it.
